Magnets for dash mount - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

I would like to attach a magnet to the battery cover of my S3 which will then attach to another magnet on my cars dash. Will the magnets damage the electronics of the phone or am I good to go with my idea? Thanks.

No, you will be fine. Most holsters/cases and some docks have magnets built into them to keep the case closed and also for a sleep function.

OK cool thanks

The wireless charging back is a tad thicker, and the only case that fits is the rubberized case. The wireless charging back is the one on the right in the pic

Would anyone buy a ceramic back cover?

I have been thinking way too much about the finger print catcher battery cover on this phone and started to think...how hard would it be for a company to produce a ceramic battery door for this phone? Would anyone even buy one?

Due to the way that my ceramic coated wedding band will not scratch this would be awesome. I have a feeling though that the ceramic would block signals.

I was just on ebay searching for a different battery cover and I found a carbon fiber and a leather cover I liked. I almost bought it until I looked at the pictures really close and noticed that non of'm had the 2 LTE antenna prongs on them like the US versions. Man that sucks, the leather cover is really nice

Those two prongs are for NFC not LTE

Don't know about effects on battery, by it sure does effect the s pen. U might not be able to use the s pen properly at the area where the magnet is.

Does changing back cover break NFC?

Anybody knows? On the original back door cover there's these two lil metal dots that look like they connect to the phone when you snap it on. I want to get one of those flip cases but not through Samsung since they charge so much. The third party covers are built the same but are missing the two metal dots.

Yes, the NFC chip is in the back cover, so you would need to buy a cover that has NFC.

Or just peel it of and put it on your new case since it is a sticker and will peel right off and sick to the new case.

This is true but aluminum covers will not work even if you do this.

You can also buy the nfc chip on ebay for about $4. It will stick right in the stock location.

Go to any Decathlon store: they have plenty of colors , generic armbands.
I know you said armband but you should check out flipbelt.com I was looking for an armband til I found this. You forget its on, nothing moves around and can just cover with your shirt. Its really thin too.

I use it for running and I've never had to flip it either. Its pretty secure without doing it since its stretchy material. Good thing about it is you can stuff things anywhere so phone up front and keys a safe distance away.
